Maudeheim & Environs, Part III: Updated 11/04/24

It was a quietly productive weekend. I got some mushrooms based up ready for a bit of detailing:






With YET MORE Mushrooms in the works:




AND the Faerie Fellows dragged out of The Vault for some attention:


There are some positive advantages to having the social life of a Trappist monk.

Wow! You've been quite productive! Great update and there's more on the way it seems
I see an interesting hunched big fellow in the top left corner and also an evil bunny or so. Can't remember seeing them before or did I miss something?

Thanks, Gatlag. Starting on the Mushrooms while my eyes are getting well enough to resume painting miniatures again has seemed to have restored my enthusiasm. I am putting in more time & the result are evident in the number of pieces approaching completion. I am happy you are enjoying the progress, Gatlag.

The Big Guy is a Formian Giant by Reaper. The twisted Rabbit is the Hare from Wyrd's Tortoise & the Hare. I am not surie I posted them here. If I did it would have been several years ago. The two of them were sitting on my desk for lack of anywhere else to sit. They need some dusting & a touchup or two,  

Aha ok, I'm also not sure if I have seen them before but they sure look cool!

After I touch/clean them up, I will take a couple of photos just for you, Gatlag...a loyal supporter does deserve special consideration.

Haha much appreciated!

The Giant needs just a little touchup & a dusting. The Hare only needs a dusting. Then some photos.

AND YET MORE MUSHROOMS are finished & awaiting basing:






These Fellow are an experiment with eyes that have the bead holes hidden:


AND a look at those based Mushrooms that are awaiting final details:




More whenever...whenever should include the pis I promise you, Gatlag.

Here are a couple of photos for Gatlag of the Wyrd Hare & the Reaper Formorian Giant:




AND YET MORE finished Mushrooms:










Until next time...whenever that is.

AND later the same day, I got two more mostly finished & based up. I just need to do a bit of touching up & add the base details:




Until whenever.

Wow! So much pictures!
Sweet looking shrooms and thanks for the Hare and the Giant, they look great (pun intended for the giant). And man...that's one evil bunny!

Thanks for the ongoing support, Gatlag. I am glad you like the stuff. The Giant has Chaos potential, AND Wyrd does have a way with evil looking minis. GW may be dark, but Wyrd rules EVIL.

I have been plodding along with my Mushrooms as my eye slowly get better. The result is eight bases of them ready for some floral finishing touches:




AND two that need supporting cast mushrooms & the flora:


More whenever!

Cool update! What do you use to create the small hills on the bases?

Lately I have been using slices of floral foam spheres. Once I hot glue them to LITKO wood bases, they get coated with Woodland Scenics Foam Putty & a layer of tack glue & sand.
Glad you like the update, Gatlag!

Over the weekend I finished the last of this batch of Mushrooms. Today I took some worktable photos which I will now inflict on you:
The Gang:




AND in smaller groups:
























Until whenever.

Floral foam spheres? That's a really good idea! The base is pretty easy to build up like that.
Have you just recently switched to this method? Because your latest work looks really nice!

I have been doing the spheres for a couple of years, but more lately. It works best with things I want to look a bit surrealistic...like the Mushrooms. I use all sorts of things to form shapes under the groundwork.
Thanks for the reply, Gatlag. I am glad you like the stuff!

Aha ok, think should pay more attention then!
Anyways it looks great!

Thanks, Gatlag. The rounded bases are easy to miss. I think the angle of the Mushrooms emphasizes the curve. I am glad you like them & took the time to say so!

The latest bit of silliness is a new Spook & his gravestone associates:






Until whenever!

Oohhh!
I like this update! Looking forward to some further in progress pics!

Thanks, Gatlag. I am happy you like him/them.
I have the three pieces base coated. They should start getting some color today. With nothing else going on, I should make some decent progress over the weekend.


Marty the Kitten will help.

Haha cats and paint... in my experience that wasn't the best combo!

Marty does seem to think that painting will work better if he is sitting on my lap.
